Scientist Tells How He Buried Hitler's Bomb

IN the dying days of the Second World War, the Nazis fought a desperate battle to develop the atomic bomb before the Allies.

More than 60 years later, a scientist has revealed how he hid the secret of creating the catastrophic weapon from Adolf Hitler.

Erwin Klinge had been hired by the dictator to create the ultimate weapon of mass destruction. But the German-born pastor - who has lived in Scotland for 20 years - and his team buried the plans to stop the Nazis aquiring the bomb.

At his home in Beith, Ayrshire - where he lives with Elfreda, his wife of 62 years - Erwin, 85, described his remarkable life that led from the labs of the Third Reich to world-wide charity work.
